Steel carports are a perfect choice for commercial properties including office spaces, retail spaces and even apartment complexes. Steel carports provide many benefits, depending upon the type of property you own and the type of carport installed. Just some of the many benefits are detailed below.

What building permit requirements and possible building restrictions exist in your community. Do you have a copy of the local building codes? Are you even allowed to build a carport on your property? For aesthetic and preservation purposes many heritage communities severely restrict additions to existing structures. There are costs and waiting periods associated with obtaining building permits so make sure you know what these are before you start to build.

Of course it goes without saying, that carports of all types and sizes can also be used to protect vehicles from the elements. Metal carport kits most often come in one car or two car designs. There are also metal rv carports which are generally longer and higher than the average carport.
